There will be no school tomorrow, Halloween, in East Greenwich for the third day in a row.
According to Supt. Victor Mercurio, three schools – Frenchtown and Meadowbrook elementarys and East Greenwich High School – are still without power from super-storm Sandy, which hit the region Monday, Oct. 29. Because of that, school is cancelled for the entire district.
If power is restored Wednesday, school will be held on Thursday, despite an previously scheduled day off for conferences, Mercurio said.
This is the second year in row that a hurricane-type storm has caused long-lasting power outages and forced multiple-day school closures. In August 2011, Tropical Storm Irene brought significant wind damage to East Greenwich, postponing the start of school by three days.

Elizabeth- can you post a 5 things to do with your kids tomorrow for all of Moms. Are there some fun things that can include more than just the preschoolers?
Thanks in advance!

I hope all those kids are safe driving around tonight because I have a feeling that the EGHS students will be going HAM!

Bambi - Some of the ideas I listed in my blog post recently (about keeping the kids busy during the hurricane hibernation) are appropriate for tweens as well toddlers. They could come in handy during winter storms too!
